Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you take custom work?

Generally the answer is no.  Almost all our bags are created from commercially available patterns, however if you see a style on our site that you would like in a different fabric feel free to reach out to info@craftyjuniperbags.com.

Are your bags handmade?

Yes, all of our bags at Crafty Juniper are handmade with care and attention to detail.  Each piece is crafted by the owner, either with the Juki industrial sewing machine, the Pfaff embroidery machine, or hand stitched.  Slight imperfections result from handmade goods and indicate a truly unique artisan product.

What styles of bags do you offer?

We offer a variety of bag styles, including totes, crossbody bags, clutches and wallets. Each design is thoughtfully created to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal, making them perfect for everyday use or special occasions.

What materials do you use for your bags?  

Our bags are crafted from high-quality materials, including durable canvas, leather, and Pendleton wool.  We prioritize sustainability and use eco-friendly practices whenever possible, ensuring that each bag is not only stylish but also built to last.

Can I see your bags in person?

Absolutely! We often participate in local markets and events where you can see our bags up close. Check our website for upcoming events or contact us to find out where we’ll be next. We’d love to meet you and help you find the perfect bag!

How can I care for my leather bags?

To keep your leather bags looking their best, we recommend regularly wiping them with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Avoid exposing your bag to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

What will your packaging look like?

You are likely to receive a box previously used to ship supplies to me, maybe from Amazon or others.  I try to reuse packaging as much as is practical, but will do my utmost to ensure it arrives dry and in one piece.
